Because I'M a Poet

She thinks because I'm a poet I'll be romantic and sweet She thinks because I'm a poet I'll have the words to sweep her off her feet She thinks because I'm a poet I'll be full of love and hope I guess that means she hasn't understood a single word I've wrote I've never been shy,when writing about the way I'm feeling But the fact I'm still writing about it, shows I'm still healing Because i'm a poet she expects roses and a new poem every day She doesn't understand, i'm not painting pictures to put on a display Because I'm a poet she thinks I'll be a cross between Ed Sheeran and Drake My heart is fractured, so i'm constantly fearing the break One more wrong touch, and it'll be broke for good She doesn't seem to understand that I write with my tears and blood Because i'm a poet, she thinks i'm going to be so romantic She thinks I'll write the poetical version of Titanic She doesn't understand that I come here when I'm at my lowest How can I tell her, I'm not that great of a poet She thinks because I'm a poet I'll be romantic and sweet She thinks because I'm a poet I'll have the words to sweep her off her feet She thinks I'll always be there when she says "I need you to hug me" She doesn't understand, most my poems are honest and telling people to not love me

I really like the truth of your words Alex. Too often others expect 'the poet' to live their sentiments 24/7. You write from your heart and pain creates beautiful poetry. Go figure..lol Excellent write always a pleasure to read you :-) lynnxxx
